I change my vote to the orginal “Blues Brothers”
The Bonzo Dog Band, of course.
They could fit you in behind the Count Basie Orchestra, between J Arthur Rank and Adolf Hitler. What would you play?
“I’m as worthless as a bass player in a Doors cover band.”
Me? I’d like to be in any band with a tourbus and groupies. Just about any 80’s hairmetal band would do.
Booker T & the MGs – great band, played on numerous great 60s soul records.
The Wrecking Crew is a pretty good choice, too. The Motown house band seems less fun, somehow.
Cheap Trick.
Good to see some love for my namesakes. I think there is a lot to be said for being a studio musician and getting to play lots of quality songs, as opposed to cranking out the same chestnuts year after year.
But the studio guys do miss out on the energy of a live show - so my vote is to replace Ron Wood. You get to join the the traveling circus that is the Rolling Stones, play all of those crazy stadium gigs, still have time to do some one-offs with Rod Stewart - or the great gunslinger tour with Bo Diddley about 15 years ago - and not have the pressure of being Mick or Keith.
And think of the job security.
Done a shift as Neil Young’s band too.
I would like to have been a member of a band/group who had a mad flash of very lucrative shag-and-drug-tastic fame and then disappeared. Possibly this might mean I wish I was Andrew Ridgely.
Talking Heads
Travelling Willbury’s
or
Hindu Love Gods
The Bangles, but more for the sexy than for the music (although I also love their music).
The Cryptkicker Five
Great choice. I’d go for Pavement.
I used to work with Bob Nastanovich’s sister. From what I gathered being in the band was no picnic.
I’m a multi-instrumentalist (I mostly play guitar) who’s been writing and recording by myself lately. Based on my somewhat limited experience with performing and recording with bands, I can say with confidence that I hate working with lazy and/or temperamental musicians.
Past:
Frank Zappa and The Mothers. Really, who else would have been more hilarious to tour with? Plus, I admire a serious musician who can get shit done and not waste time with drugs and other distractions.
Present:
Les Claypool. He’s not as absurd as Zappa, but weird enough that I’d fit in.
Pink Floyd is one of my favorite bands and I own every one of their studio albums in one form or another, but I think they’d be a miserable group of blokes to be around in real life especially a jerk like Roger Waters.
Led Zeppelin or Johnny Cash’s band.
I have it on DVD 
I’d say yes to getting hitched, except I’m moving in with my boyfriend in a couple of weeks and it might be awkward.
I just think it would be amazing to be a part of or just witness that creative process.
I hate being second but Pink Floyd is my answer as well. I’d write music or just bang on the keyboard randomly.
What’s wrong with Roger?
I think it’s mostly an issue of having a group of that many extremely talented people in one place, who fully realize what they’ve got. Egos and all.
